I hope someone here has any ideas about what this could be, because I have no clue..
So.. the thing is, about a month and a half ago I started noticing some loss of power and an extreme loss in torque, followed by a regular visit from the "Check Engine" light. I tried getting the car scanned at 3 different shops and none of them had the proper equipment to scan so that didn't help at all (they only had programmers for 96+ mustangs I think). Since then, my battery died and I replaced it, and for the first two minutes or so with the new battery I felt some of the power back but I'm pretty sure not all of it. Every time I get to around 4k rpm in 3rd+ gear the check engine light comes, and leaves a short while after I get to lower rpm. When the car's stopped and I rev the engine it can't get to the redline, like 5000, 5500 rpm tops. I have changed the distributor cap, spark plugs, spark plug wires and nothing seems to help.
The car is a 5.0 95 gt, with 93k miles on it.

i have no idea on specifics about that, but if i were you i would take it to your local advanced auto parts if you have one, they should scan it for free, and they have the scanner for OBD 1 fords ( i got mine scanned) otherwise your local ford dealer, but you would have to pay a diagnostic fee for that. :nonono: sorry i cant be more help.

I don't know about any advanced auto parts around here so I guess I'll take it to the Ford dealership unless someone else here has heard of this problem of mine, thanks for the help I appreciate it :)
